Kohnami Japanese Restaurant

A very solid Japanese restaurant. Defintely the best Japanese food in santa fe. Went multiple times for dining and take out. Enjoyed everything except for the ramen. Great tea nice and hot and yummy. The only problem was the service. Our server didn't know the th menu well and forgot that our dishes came with rice and soup and we had to remind her for each one. Also didn't refill water glasses. Coming from someone working in fine dining for years. Otherwise I'd recommend the seaweed salad and the California rolls and the teriyaki beef. One last thing I'd say is this place is pricey so be prepared to spend a bit and like other Asian spots it's more about quality over quantity the portion sizes are very small.

Exceptional food. Service staff still learning their menu and ordering point of sale. Even though our order was delivered not as ordered, we are more than pleased with the food. Would definitely become a regular dinner if we lived in Santa Fe.

Great atmosphere and staff is great. They did have us wait while to take our order but the food was amazing and definitely well worth it. We order the chicken Katsu bento that comes miso soup and salad. Also, spicy tempura roll, the heart attack( jalapeño, cream cheese and spicy tuna) and the pork gyoza. If you are visiting Santa Fe or a local and have been looking for a great sushi place look no further! The prices are fair for the big portions.

We have been going to Kohnami for several years. The food has gone down in taste and quantity. The waitresses always appears to be in a bad mood. What was shocking was that they automatically charged us, group of 4, 20% tip! To-go automatically charged 12% tip and when we dine we tip 18% or more but forcing customers to pay 20% is definitely not the right thing to do. And they had space below for additional tip. Hard pass! You guys keep bringing this nice restaurant down every year!

Staff aside from one worker seemed to take an off day. Smoking in the back patio with what looked like to be alcohol as well as seemed a little strung out. The other waitress couldn’t even open her eyes and the smell of weed was in the background. It took them close to 2 hours to even be served our room temp sushi and mussels that did not taste fresh. This has been the worst time we’ve had with this company. We were once avid customers but shall warn our friends about any upcoming visits.
